Qiao Juan

225K0

This book takes Robinson's series of novels as the research object and explores the shaping role of abolitionist thought, religious traditions and physiocratic concepts in the value system of the American Midwest. It focuses on the inner connection between the social and spiritual fields, secular life and sacred space, and emphasizes human beings' physical attachment and cultural attachment to the place they live in. It thus conducts an all-round and overall study on the formation, development, operation and effectiveness of the American Midwestern culture. It sublimates the topic discussion from regional awareness to the most extensive life care, and interprets the meaning of spiritual home from a more comprehensive perspective.
